Ori Martin choose Radyne Spring Wire line. 16.01.2018

Oil tempering is recognised as the traditional method of producing spring wire for cold coiling. However, due to environmental concerns with this process, Induction Tempered (IT wire) is increasingly growing in popularity. Additionally, leading spring makers for cold coiling applications are moving to IT wire due to its superior mechanical properties.

Ori Martin S.P.A. of Brescia, Italy placed its trust in Inductotherm Heating & Welding Ltd and the RADYNE brand to purchase its first Radyne Spring Wire Line for the production of IT wire. To date, Radyne has supplied fifteen of these high capacity, high efficiency lines with production capacities of 1,500 to 3,000kg/hr. Typically the Radyne lines treat SAE9254 or equivalent and are also used to treat more exotic alloys with Vanadium and Nickel additions.

As main project contractor Inductotherm Heating & Welding Ltd are responsible for the complete heat treatment process, from pay-off to take-up. With these established and proven Radyne lines there are no harmful chemicals to pose a risk to operator health or the environment. The quench tanks only require tap water as the quenching medium. Induction heating technology generates heat directly within the wire and only when the line is in production, minimising start-up times and energy losses as well ensuring maximum power efficiency.

With a scheduled production start-up date for late 2018, the Radyne IT spring wire processing line will allow Ori Martin SPA to offer processed wire of the highest quality and consistency to leading spring makers.
